Psychos were out yesterday preaching and spewing their poison. Beautiful, gorgeous, sunshiny day. People were out trying to enjoy the weather and live their lives, and these jerks had set up camp literally, with a large free -standing canopy and some loud- speakers, telling everyone how they need to kneel and ask for forgiveness as sinners from their savior who died on the cross for their sins, lest they go straight to hell…blah, blah, blah.

Yes, I’ve been busy with Google Docs again. This time, a dismantling of the canards erected by Michael Behe with respect to “irreducible complexity” (including the fact that he didn’t even invent the concept) and the manner in which his attempt to erect the bacterial flagellum as the “poster child” for his bastardised version of “irreducible complexity” fell apart when actual biologists started work on the topic.

Again, I’ve been busy.
